2. Learning Objective
After the successful completion of this session,
learner will be able to
● appreciate rationale for cloud engineering
discipline
● understand basic terms, scope and nature
of Cloud engineering

3. Agenda
● Cloud Engineering - meaning
● Core features
● Key benefits
● History

4. Cloud Engineering
Cloud engineering is the application of a
Systematic, disciplined, quantifiable, and
interdisciplinary approach
to
the ideation, conceptualization, development, operation
and maintenance of Cloud Computing study and
applied research of the approach of engineering to cloud

5. Cloud engineering
● It is a maturing and evolving discipline
● to facilitate the adoption, strategization,
operationalization, industrialization, standardization,
productization, commoditization and governance of
cloud solutions
● leading towards a cloud ecosystem.
Cloud engineering = “cloud service engineering”

6. Why Cloud engineering?
● The nature of commodity-like capabilities delivered
by cloud services and
● the inherent challenges in this business model
● drive the need for cloud engineering as the process of
“ designing the system necessary to leverage the
power and economics of cloud resources to solve
business problems

7. Core Features
Cloud engineering focuses on
● IaaS
● PaaS
● SaaS

8. Core Features
● Cloud engineering is a multi-disciplinary method
● encompassing contributions from diverse areas such as
○ system engineering,
○ software engineering,
○ web engineering,
○ performance engineering,
○ information engineering and security engineering,
○ platform engineering,
○ service engineering,

15. Elements of Cloud Engineering
4. Management
● Governance
● standards, policies
● configuration management
● operational management
● SLA Management
● Asset Management
● Risk Management
● TCO and ROI

16. Key benefits-1
● Reduction in the average time to create and deploy a new
solution
● Reduction in the number of defects per solution
● Reduction in the average engineering effort to deploy and
maintain a solution, and therefore reduction in the average
engineering cost per solution

17. Key benefits-2
● Increase in the total number of solutions that can be effectively
deployed and managed
● reduced time-to-market and time-to-revenue for new solutions
● improved competitive solution value
● higher profit margin
● improved ability to hit market windows

18. Key benefits-3
● better solution quality and improved company
reputation for quality
● improved scalability of business model in terms of
solutions and markets
● increased agility to expand into new market
● reduced risk in solution deployments

19. History
● The term Cloud engineering was coined in
2007
● Concept of cloud engineering introduced in
2009

20. Professional World
Cloud engineering has given rise to active
professional group and is active through
conference
● Ist IEEE international Conference on Cloud
Engineering 2013
Ist IEEE international Conference on Cloud
Engineering 2014
●

21. Conclusion
● Cloud computing creates a new world for application
development.
● Cloud application need a radically different approach
both for development, operations and maintenance.
● Hence the creation of new discipline - cloud
engineering
